"Looking for gold"

Looking for gold. Soccer’s quest. The USA defeated
Panama on Sunday to win the Gold Cup. A one goal nugget was enough, that
rare element. What can the US take from their prize?

The Gold Cup team features some players not regularly picked for the
national team in the more prestigious World Cup qualifying games. The
good news for coach Jurgen Klinsmann – the pool is
deep. The players execute Kinsmann’s tactical plan – a must. A cohesive
spirit prevails. No surprise there. Patriotism blends with confidence –
American traits.

Inclusion at the World Cup Finals in Brazil next year has still to be
earned. The USA is currently top of the World Cup qualifying group.
Crucial games lie ahead against Mexico and Costa Rica. The team can
drink from the Gold Cup tonight but tomorrow it’s back to the mine to
work. The bigger nugget is found in Brazil.
